Looks very nice! Now you just need trunking for the cable sticking underneath the TV and paint it with the wall colour.

How's the TV?

£120 sounds perfectly reasonable all things considered.

That appears to be a birdfeeder.

Personally, given the above, I think it was £120 very wisely spent...

Apologies for that, i used to be able to copy and paste with the old site, here is what i meant to post.

Thanks daveh75 after watching him wall mounting the tv and help me setting it up, i'm glad i spent the £150 including wall mount, i think i would have struggled on my own.

I might put up with the cable underneath, the tv is fine i have just watched "the raid 2" this afternoon and to be honest i didn't even notice the curve and that was in a dark room with the curtains shut, my only complaint is that it is reflective when viewed from a certain angle, i wasn't expecting that i thought it would be the opposite.

Nice one Simon, looks great. What's your next purchase then, a 4K Blu-ray player?

simonlewis · Sep 22, 2014

Funds are quite low at the moment gel, i have thought about buying the samsung BDF7500 at £160 but i would need a AV reciever to go with it and i'm thinking of the denon AVR2100 at £500 and with christmas coming up, i'm not sure what i'll do.

The pictures have a hell of a lot of detail in them.

Why did you think the opposite. Concave surfaces attract all the light in. In the TV shootout review, I mentioned this:

"the reflection on the curved Samsung is far more distracting that the flat TVs."

Gee, gel, let him enjoy and get used to his very nice new television without wanting to drain his wallet further!

Which is why when I can crack open my pension fund (a process that has taken months so far, with the end not yet in sight) I'll be thinking about a Samsung flat HU7500 television, not the curved HU8500 series.

I always thought that lcd or led tvs were less reflective than plasma (glass) and i thought being curved would difuse any reflections however i must look on the bright side if i think of three seating positions left, center, right, it only happens on the left where i am mostly sat but not on the center or right where the window is.

On sound what is the difference between PCM and DTS neo 2:5 ?

Glacialpath · Sep 24, 2014

PCM means nothing about the audio gets altered and is uncompressed, the DTS neo 2:5 is a fancy codec that can output for example a 5.1 audio stream to all the speakers on a set up if there are more than 6 = 5.1. This doesn't mean its a bad codec but it's not a true descrete audio codec as I think it pushes audio to the channels the 5.1 wouldn't be using.

Is this on your new TV (which looks very nice by the way) or a setting on an AV receiver?

It's on the tv, i get a choice between PCM and DTS neo 2:5, i want what is natural and what ever is broadcast i presume that would be PCM, it is currently on DTS neo 2:5 at this moment so i will change it, their was a third one which was greyed out but i can't remember what it was.

Tv looking very good. Your kittens look really cute too, but how did you get hold of a Panda?????? 😉

In that case then PCM is the one you want. Hope it sounds great.

I cant believe anyone would trust their new tv wall mounted on a £12 bracket - thats being extremely frugal on something that holds such value to the wall....

rocketrazor · Sep 26, 2014

Tv looks good mate, hope you enjoy it *clapping*
